[@MelloCello7]

6:48 The end of this video is worth its weight in gold "It's not about the style as much as it is about the teacher, and if you're not willing to think outside the box, you're never going to master the art… Tradition is not about preserving the ashes, but rather about keeping the flame burning because that's how the art stays alive."

[@ALBINO1D]

Much agreed

[@lorenzozapaton4031]

It's a great statement.

[@Flushmaster0312]

[@Ngouenbamario]

In this case the Wingchun was def changed to something else and master ip wasted his time lol no sorry but the real wing chun used dummy exactly for their style without changing it for ages go check in Wong shun Leung he prolly the last one who thought the real way of wing chun

[@thetalantonx]

There's actually a song by The Longest Johns called "Ashes." They're a group that's focused on sea shanties but rather than just staying fixated on only the traditional songs they also add to the genre. They got hate from the traditionalists stuck in what was aptly called "the classical mess," and the song is their reply. "Watch that old fire as it flickers and dies That once blessed the household and lit up our lives It shone for the friends and the clinking of glasses I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes Capture the wild things and bring them in line And own what was never your right to confine The lives and the loves and the songs are what matters I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes..." It conveys a surprisingly similar message to the summation here at the end of the video.

[@stanislavangelov4265]

"Tradition is not about preserving the ashes, but rather about keeping the flame burning" woooooa, Jesse casually dropping some of the most profound statements about martial arts ! Great content ! Never fails to both entertain and educate.... and remind us where the birthplace of Karate is !

[@JosephCox-yx4ds]

I think a mix of traditionalist/purist and people who are able to think outside of the box and evolve or grow a style are both important for preserving a style's heritage.

[@maximan4363]

Always stay open minded & remember that there is always someone better than you out there! Stay humble, respectful and as Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker "With great power, comes great responsibility!" Thank you Stan Lee!! I'm only a 2nd Dan in Shotokan (I started when I was 9 years old) and I had a really old school Sensei, who changed my life! My Daughters Sensei is a 7th Dan, and he's in his late 30's and that blows my mind!!! I'm 54 now and I'm a 6th Dan in Shinobi Ninjutsu! It's my love and my passon since I was 19!! I've been trying to learn Wing Chun for the last 5 years! I just wish I started learning Wing Chun 40 years ago, because I'm never going to have the time to become a real Master at it - I love all the nuances to it! It's such a beautifully fluid and dynamic Marshall Art! I still remember punching through my first breeze block at 14 and I was stunned how easy it was... scared the shit outta me to be honest!

[@AmericanWingChun]

As a Wing Chun instructor myself, the comment about "I was told this was used for finding your opponent in the dark..." I immediately thought, "well, that's like the idea of the Chum Kiu form (Wing Chun's second form that means 'Seeking Bridge'). You're seeking a bridge/contact with your opponent, and it's very much like reaching out in the dark. You don't know what you're gonna run into, until you make physical contact to use the skills developed from the Chi-Sau training. So, that may have been a metaphor for what it actually is, and just got lost in time/translation." Besides being in the Muk Yan Jong Fat (Wooden Dummy Techniques), that movement is also found in the Chum Kiu (Seeking Bridge) form!

[@mr-oso-805]

I'm not even familiar with the move. But, I knew it was metaphoric when he said it. I'm sure he did also... I would hope. I thought he was just complimenting the instructor by explaining it like that.

[@streamofconsciousness8312]

Yea in the tradition I am learning they call that technique that he referred to with that metaphor as "sinewalli" or "cinewali", idk how you would spell it, but its common in phillipino and japanese karate systems. I think the "finding ones way in the dark" is because sometimes we practice it with our eyes closed, because its all about developing that tactile grip. Its like a sticky hands drill but with more real life striking and distancing involved. Its one of my favorite drills

[@dominionpredatorcontrol1091]

That's my thought, the goal is finding the connection to respond

[@LeeWhalan-bi8kc]

The second form is introducing shifting and pivoting, bridging the gap between one’s self and an opponent, every moment in Wing Chun takes the centre line and attack in defence, it would be counterproductive to shift forward and not send hands to seek or attack as Wing Chun fighting stance is exactly the same as the stance in the first form so any forward movement is engaging with attack. This is what I was taught and believe to be the basic principles of Wing Chun.

[@youerny]

Totally agree. ❤

[@dr4aces]

I love your channel. You don't get tied down in arguments about styles, you just go out there and learn.

[@MartialArtsGamer]

Wing Chun is fast. My sensei has taught me Karate in a unique way, the speed of Wing Chun combined with the power of Karate. I can see the effectiveness of using and having both at your disposal.

Jackie Chan's 'Rumble in the Bronx ' first opening scenes was a great display of the wooden dummy. Never gets old watching it.

[@TheElbowMerchant]

The sound the wooden dummy makes is kind of pleasant, at least in my opinion. Some people probably find it to be grating on the nerves, but to me, there's a satisfying percussion and rhythm that sounds really cool.

[@ironmikehallowween]

It’s kind of like a speed bag in that way; the rhythm of the speed bag clears my mind.

[@gotowealth]

exactly, same here. like asmr to me. it sounds so nice.

[@sterlingmullett6942]

The IP Man movies did a good job of depicting the rhythm and almost meditative nature of the sound when practicing on the wooden dummy. There was a Zen to it, a flow. I imagine anyone really practiced in the wooden dummy would find themselves getting into that state fairly easily.

[@gotowealth]

practice on a wooden dummy is a guy's thing, I guess.

[@fakshen1973]

I love how you phrase your request as "is it possible". It shows earnest respect.

[@murilocaruy]

Somethings to note: As you showed in your trips to China, White Crane influenced karate, and the birthplace of White Crane is 永春 Yong Chun (Wing Chun in Cantonese). The art in the video is 咏春 Wing Chun, the same pronunciation. There's also another lineage called 永春 in Hong Kong. Wing Chun is literally an offshoot of White Crane. Sometimes White Crane was just called 永春拳 Wing Chun boxing, there are still styles of Crane that use this name in Taiwan. And that's how Wing Chun is related to karate 😃 Another note: I've seen Goju ryu practicioners using a form of wooden dummy, maybe one day you can make a video on that as well!

We didn’t get that here. We got better 😊. Mutual learning and understanding were on display here. Sensei Jesse pointing out how all of the Southeast martial arts are related and how we shouldn’t preserve ashes, those were great moments. Thank you for a fantastic video!

2:09 great teaching point, simplifying your response by knowing which arm is being thrown and monitoring the passive arm

[@Gruntcakes69]

Great video and loving your content 🙏 please note as an instructor for Ip Man and Ip Chun lineage we are taught the dummy is a moulding tool and shouldn’t be used to desensitise your arms and definitely not break your hand. Contact and feeling is important in feeling what your opponent is doing, so you want to keep the nerves active. (One inch energy can be practiced on the dummy by placing your finger tips on the main body then using the palm to develop explosive power.) I really agree with your open minded philosophy and I’m looking forward to your next wing chun video 🙏

[@filiperodriguesaquin]

I loved the message of this video. In my school we study various lineages of Wing Chun (from now going back in time towards the Shaolin roots: Hong Kong, Red Boats, Chi Sim, Hung Fa Kuen, etc) and the beautiful part is: the more back in time you go, the more you learn of the Wing Chun Formula. It's a series of principles of time (tempo/distance), space (positioning, footwork and dividing the 3d space in sections) and energy (faat ging and other methods for hitting hard) that guides you in the martial science. Once you grasp the fundamentals of the science and express them in your way, there's art, there's style! It's ironic how people got so attached to Bruce that they forgot what he teached: learn the science, do not get hung up on other people's styles.

[@jamesgoudreau1940]

The efficiency of some of these fighting styles is a work of art in and of itself. I personally like them more than the flashy styles you often see in movies and demos. Grip fighting is very similar in you aim to get the best grip or break grips in the most efficient ways. Great video.

Practiced Wing Chun for three years. I can say by itself it does not make much sense, but combining it with my Sanda and Judo background it gave me a lot of useful tools when at knee/elbow range. Its arm manipulation techniques are very good.

[@typedeaf]

Ive seen two demonstrations of Lee doing the '1 inch' 'punch'. In the one you included, its clearly a 1 inch 'push', which would have no punching power. The other video he clearly pulls his hand back about 1-2 feet before punching, making it not '1 inch'. Frankly, I am tired of the fascination with Bruce Lee. Every year the tales of his ability get taller and taller.

[@EmperorJ123]

I did a three inch punch last week. Knocked a 100kg kickstand bag over.

[@jackyjackson604]

I don't ever believe the inch punch is really for achieving big hurt in its original form (that is, within literally an inch). It's more a training to achieve quick, short jabs given very limited space, As Wing Chun is supposed to be for very close range combat. Most of the attacks were designed to hit from hand trapping distance. Without proper training to improve the explosiveness those short range attacks will be practically harmless

[@EmperorJ123]

@jackyjackson604 The compression ratio on certain parts of the body would hurt. Possibly its just useful for creating imbalance. I reckon it's training technique to build total body responses and has practical applications. If you are close range you can get a punch loaded up and off, with greater power than if you just practiced normal distance. The physics of it is undeniable.

[@EmperorJ123]

@@jackyjackson604 I disagree with these techniques being practically harmless without training. I think if you applied them as instructed they'd just enough

Wonderful video. After three ambush attempts that failed, I decided to do my best to learn one inch everything. When I was attacked by Elvis, I was dropped with a fake and a bite that sent me into the air, then immediately bitten on the left side of my left knee and had to fight passing out and let him go again with another bite. I only had one inch to punch and where I punched the dog rang his bell, stopped the attack and backed him up two feet. The next decision I made was him or me, but had to be wary of a pit bull that took up a cornering position.

Wow thank you for meeting Didier Beddar who we can truly consider a great Master of the martial arts living on Earth currently! I hope you will make other videos with him because he is full of surprises and skills

[@gaymer5697]

I love his energy and that he even cares that you did not get hurt. Some of these little out there martial arts teachers seem to like to/don't care if they hurt Jesse. Would love to learn wing chun from this person.

You did it again Sensei Jesse! Another great thought provoking and instructive video. I love the way that despite being an expert in Karate you are always open to learning other Martial Arts! You certainly have Shoshin “the beginners mind!” That you talk about in your videos. Keep up your great work!

You have such an open mind and ability to absorb new information. It’s so fun watching you take this journey of experiencing different martial concepts and theories. Thanks for bringing the viewers along for the ride.

Thank you so much!

I immediately like Didier, he gives me the impression of a kind and balanced person. EXACTLY the type of person anyone should be seeking as a teacher in Martial Arts...especially Wing Chun.

Practicing Sil Lim Tau and the Wooden Dummy I was able to develop a good 'inches punch'. I tested it on my brother. 😁 I learned the Wing Chun online, but it helped I have a backround in Bagua and Karate. The Wooden Dummy is an excellent friend for solo training.

Thank you SO much for including the part about why Wing Chun uses the knuckles that it does. I have seen far too many videos (elsewhere) that do not explain the why, leading many to think they can punch this way effectively to the head without hurting their hand. "Punch soft parts" should go wthout saying? No, no. NO. Definitely say that part! And you did, so bless you for that. I never knew Wing Chun has the same leg catches that I like to use. Fascinating.

I'm happy to see this humble legend, Didier Beddar.

"Tradition is not about perserving the ashes, it's about keeping the flame burning". I really, really like that expression. 🤔90%🤔

Nice job, Jesse. Didier Beddar is a machine!
